Birds in Colour (moorhens and pheasants)

A few shots taken today at Wakehurst Place… theme is 'colour'.

First a delightfully cheerful moorhen chick.

And at the other end of the size scale, a beautifully tolerant pheasant.

    Cynthia, the chicks were really cute. There were four of them walking on the lily pads.
